LOCATION:
Glorious Sandown Bay is on your doorstep, and voted one of the Island’s best beaches, providing a long stretch of sand and great swimming waters. Along this stretch you can see the red sandstone through to the white chalk of Culver cliff, and it is around here that fossil remains can be found. Sandham Garden’s play area is just across the road from the apartment with go karting sky nets and crazy golf and children’s play area. A short flat walk further along towards Yaverland, and you will also find the Wild Heart Animal Sanctuary formerly the isle of Wight Zoo, famous for its big cats. The town of Sandown is brimming with attractions to entertain visitors, most of them right on the beach front itself, so you never have to stray too far from the golden sands. Should you enjoy a coastal walk, you can walk the length of Sandown Bay from Yaverland past the Pier along the seaside revetment all the way to the popular neighbouring town of Shanklin. If you are keen on an active holiday, the bay is hugely popular with water-sports, and you’ll certainly see people paddle boarding, surfing, catamaran and dingy sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing, depending on the weather.

My family and I had a fantastic time at Colonels Apartment. Right in front of the beach. Wake up to the sounds of the waves, had breakfast on the outside table in front of the house looking at the beach and then I crossed the main street and went for a swim on the gorgeous beach of Sandown, which by the way, is dog friendly. The apartment had everything we needed and was as described. Communication and organization was 100%. Will book again!

A wonderful weekend
We had a truly wonderful stay. The apartment is new, modern, very clean and in the perfect location with the beach just across the road which is beautiful. Only downside is the very loud building work going on and this wasn’t mentioned when we booked.

Ideal location for beach and rest of the island
The property was perfectly located. Just across the road from an ideal soft sand beach, a two minute walk from one of the best resturants in town (Band Stand), five minute walk from holiday entertainment (mini golf plus more), 10 minute walk in to town and easy road access to get to the rest of the island. The property was modern, spacious, clean and well equiped and included off street parking. Could do with some alternative hot weather bedding. A duvet in 30 degrees is just not needed.
